Firefox has an extension called Scrapbook that does exactly what you want. I have used it for years. It not only lets you specify what types of objects you want to save but how many levels deep you want to process links. Its simply a great extension. I couple it with another extension called "Nuke Anything" that lets me delete stuff I'm not interested in from the page I'm viewing before I capture it with Scrapbook. No sense saving junk like ads, etc.
I will never consider changing browsers (Chrome, Opera, ???) unless it has access to the same or equivalent extensions.

Hi
Just a quick question. If I make a donation, does it change my membership status. I am a charter member but whenever I click on "make a donation" it seems to take me to a new member signup page. Are there means to distinguish between a new member and a continuing member. Perhaps its not that important but it just seemed confusing that even though I was logged in I kept ending up on a donation page requesting all new data.

Find And Run Robot / Most basic usage doesn't work as described
« on: February 16, 2009, 10:35 AM »
Ok, its time to ask the stupid question.
I understand that FARR can do absolutely everything. I only want it to do the most basic function as "advertised".
I downloaded it, installed it, pressed the magic pop-up key, started to type in a program I wanted. As described, a list of numbered candidates showed up. I pressed the number corresponding to the one I wanted........... and it broke! Instead of launching the program, FARR treated the digit as just a continuation of the search term.
So I tried all the obvious things. Ctl-digit, Alt-digit, Fn-digit, you name it. Nothing.
Since I could scroll down to the various programs, I have been using that approach every since. It continues to bug me, however, that it refuses to work as described.
If I had modified it, extended it, or tweaked it in any way I would assume it was my fault. I didn't. All I tried to do was use it as the most basic plain vanilla, follow-the-instructions-and-it-will-work launcher program.
I'm certainly not going to tweak the program if I can't get it to work in out-of-the-box mode.
Whats the problem please?

Thanks for the responses.
Basically you have said that the available version is reliable and stable.
I had thought about trying FARR 2 but on the download page it is described as an ALPHA PREVIEW release. To me, an alpha version means slow, buggy and prone to crash your computer with amazing regularity. Usually you see alpha releases accompanied by major warnings about possible catastrophic consequences if you are stupid enough to run it without completely backing up your computer first.
This leaves me still conflicted but I guess I will try it.
